About This Movie

There’s something raw about the practical effects, emphasizing the real-world stakes involved. The interviews feel intimate, giving voice to those who are passionate about preserving this tradition. It’s not just about sheep; it’s about community and identity, making it a unique piece for anyone interested in socio-cultural dynamics.
